PFT: Michael Bush ready to roll?

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Dr. James Andrews has proclaimed Louisville running back Michael Bush "99 percent healed" from a broken leg that ended his 2006 season during the first game of the year.

"I reviewed an x-ray today and it looks like it is 99% healed," Andrews said in an e-mail to every team. "It certainly looks much better than it did some weeks ago. It is remarkable how quickly this has improved relative to recent re-rodding."

Bush underwent surgery last month to have a larger rod placed into his leg.

Our guess? Only a G.M. with a high degree of job security is going to take the risk, especially with a first-day pick.

I know who he is, had a whole thing with some Chargers fan who was conviced Drew Brees arm was going to rot off even though Andrews cleared his progress. (Of course, said Chargers fan thinks AJ Smith's farts smell like Angelina Jolie...)

I meant the 99% part. How does something look 99% healed? What is the 1% that isn't healed? What does Larry think about all this?

Bush was NEVER the #1 back. It was always Peterson. The bone has probably healed at last, but how long before he can really work out and build himself back up?

I'll agree to disagree on the #1 part, but I think a team like the Cowboys would have the luxury of giving him as much time as he needed for the bone to properly heal and for him to get back into 'football shape'.
